Administrator abilities
Administrators may do the following:
- Delete/undelete pages, page histories, and uploaded files
- Lock pages so they cannot be edited by users without administrative rights or autoconfirmed status
- Block IP addresses or usernames from editing
- Rollback undesired edits
- Edit the interface by changing system messages and skins
- Grant other users bureaucrat and administrator rights
Bureaucrat abilities
A bureaucrat can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on their own wiki.

How do I use administrative powers?
See Help:Administrators' how-to guide for a guide on using admin functions.
Becoming an administrator
For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one. You may simply ask a bureaucrat directly on his or her talk page.
If there are no active bureaucrats, use the "Requests for adminship" page to nominate users to become admins or bureaucrats. Once a community decision has been reached (or if there is no active community to debate the decision), please leave a message at the wiki adoption requests page and Wikia Staff can provide the rights.
What can administrators not do?
Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism. Administrator powers should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. Ideally an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community.
